Hey, members! Mark your calendars - the 8th Chemosynthesis-Based Ecosystems Symposium / #CBE8 will take place June 2027 in Horta, Faial!

Organised by U. Azores and @okeanos-uac.bsky.social (and the #MidAtlanticRidge within reach), #CBE8 aims to provide new insight into #chemosynthetic environments.

Deep-sea gas hydrate mounds and chemosynthetic fauna discovered at 3640 m on the Molloy Ridge, Greenland Sea - Nature Communications This study reveals dissociating methane hydrate mounds on the seafloor at more than 3600 m deep in the Greenland Sea. This gas hydrate cold seep supports chemosynthetic fauna similar to Arctic hydroth...
